Out of town travel pool 6: More Q&A

More on Russia and Putin no longer being part of the G7: "It was a big mistake. Obama didn't want him"

"This was a big mistake. You wouldn't have that war. You know you have your enemy at the table, I don't even consider, he wasn't really an enemy at that time. There was no concept--if I were president this war would have never happened."

"Putin speaks to me, he doesn't speak to anybody else because he was insulted when he got thrown out of the G8"

Trump also said it was "not a bad idea" to have China as part of the G7

On ICE targeting Democrat-run cities, Trump said Illinois Gov JB Pritzker was "probably the worst in the country" and claimed Chicago has been "overrun by criminals."

Also said of the violent immigrants he's targeted for deportation, "Most of those people are in the cities, all blue cities, all Democrat-run in cities, and they think they're going to use them to vote."

Carney cut off questions soon afterward, citing time constraints.
